One of our hardiest varieties.

Used by many farmers to utilise low-yielding land and/or to have animal fodder production during dry seasons.
Foraged by cattle, sheep, goats, rabbits, etc.

Please do your own research on saltbush's stock fodder suitability for the animals you want to feed it to, as I will not be held liable if you feed it to your one of kind egg-laying Llamas, milk producing emu, normal ruminant or similar and it keels over and dies :-)

Works/looks best in gardens if trimmed back once a year in Spring. Or, if you have the space…just let them go.

A tough border or hedging variety.

Drought, frost, wind, salt and heat tolerant.

Frost tolerant to minus 5 degrees.

Will grow in coastal areas.

Extremely deep rooting plants and genetic systems that allows them to thrive when most other plants fail.

They can access and retain moisture and nutrients lost to many species.

Handles wet feet over prolonged periods.

It recovers quickly from grazing (don't overgraze).

Can live on brackish or higher salted bore water.

Tolerates high salt content as it uptakes the salt and stores it in special leaf cells.

Grown throughout the world for landscaping, fodder, windbreaks, feature/standard/ornamental plantings, hedges, borders and shelter.

Full sun to light shade.

Grey/Silver evergreen foliage.

It has a fairly high protein yield and digestibility rate.

Height: approx to 2 metres if left to itself and grown in good conditions. Can be hedged from 30cm upwards.
